“Perhaps the most powerful revolutions are the ones that deny they ever happened. They install a new approach and erase an earlier practice so successfully that we look at the world through the structures they leave behind.”
Christine Desan, Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism

“It happened improvisationally, indeed probably unintentionally. Participants solved one problem and created others; they reacted as often as they acted affirmatively; they moved by experience and intuition, without an overarching theory; and the whole affair took decades, involved many different actors, and coheres largely in retrospect.”
Christine Desan, Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism
